The 36 Group

36 Crime

Jonathan is a Grade 4 prosecutor.

He is almost exclusively instructed by the Crown as leading counsel, or junior alone, in cases involving very serious organised criminality. He has particular experience and expertise in the prosecution of large scale, multi-defendant cases. He regularly appears in cases as leading counsel or junior counsel alone whilst prosecuting cases in which defendants are represented by Queen’s Counsel.

Jonathan is meticulous in his preparation and highly regarded for the command that he demonstrates over every aspect of his cases. He is regularly instructed at the very early stages of investigations (frequently pre-charge) and prosecutions to provide guidance to both the Police and Crown Prosecution Service. He works extremely well as part of the prosecution team in each of his cases.

He has a keen tactical approach to his work, regularly devising strategies to optimise his cases and ensure that they proceed as efficiently and effectively as possible. It is a combination that allows Jonathan to deploy the prosecution case in a potent and compelling manner.

Jonathan has a particular interest in cases involving the organised supply of controlled drugs, firearms and examination of significant quantities of mobile telephone evidence. He has established a strong reputation for his ability to deal with cases based primarily on circumstantial evidence.

However, Jonathan is also often briefed in cases involving homicide, serious non-lethal violence, serious driving offences involving fatalities and high value/complex dishonesty offences.

Jonathan is also frequently instructed in substantial POCA proceedings. His commitment to and ability within those matters is demonstrated by his regularly securing hidden assets orders against defendants.

Such is the ​standard of Jonathan's work and dedication that he demonstrates to each of his cases. He has received formal commendations from various Police Forces, throughout the United Kingdom, recognising his efforts on a number of prosecutions.

Jonathan’s skill and ability to present his cases has been further recognised by his being asked to provide professional training on the giving of Evidence and Court Presentation to Regional Policing Teams and to give a lectures and presentations on behalf of Chorus analytical software.
